Single Output UCQ Models Low-Profile, Quarter Brick, 8.3-40 Amp Isolated DC/DC Converters Typical units FEATURES PRODUCT OVERVIEW n Standard quarter-brick package/pinout n Low cost; Low profile, 0.4" (10.2mm) For applications requiring improved electrical and thermal performance at reduced cost, consider DATEL’s new UCQ series “quarter brick” DC/DC power converters. These compact units measure just 1.45" x 2.3" x 0.4" (36.8 x 60.9 x 10.2 mm) and fit the industry-standard footprint. Available outputs range between 1.2V @ 30 Amps to 12V @ 8.3 Amps and accept a wide input range. The UCQ’s interleaved, synchronous-rectifier topology offers high efficiency (up to 93%), tight line and load regulation, low noise and fast step response. A single-board optimized open-frame design contributes to impressive thermal operation. UCQ’s will operate up to +70°C and 100 LFM airflow with no derating. n 24V or 48V nominal input n Outputs: 1.2V to 12V n Interleaved synchronous-rectifier topology • Ultra high efficiency • No output reverse conduction n Outstanding thermal performance n On/off control, trim & sense functions n Fully isolated, 2250Vdc (BASIC) nOutput overvoltage protection n Fully I/O protected; Thermal shutdown The UCQ’s feature full isolation to 2250Vdc meeting BASIC insulation requirements of UL/EN/IEC 60950-1. Input filters reduce propagated switching noise back to input sources. Also included is a remote On/Off switch control (with positive or negative polarity), output trim adjustable over nominal and output sense functions to reduce power lead losses. Extensive protection items avoid damage from out of limit voltages, currents and temperatures. Protection faults automatically recover using the hiccup technique. Besides safety testing to 60950‑1, certifications for the UCQ include application for EMC compliance (to FCC class B), qualification testing (including HALT) and CE marking. n Designed to meet UL/EN/IEC60950-1 safety approvals n Qual/HALT/EMI tested +SENSE (7) +VOUT (8) +VIN (3) SWITCH CONTROL –VOUT (4) –VIN (1) –SENSE (5) PWM CONTROLLER REMOTE ON/OFF CONTROL* (2) INPUT UNDERVOLTAGE, INPUT OVERVOLTAGE, AND OUTPUT OVERVOLTAGE COMPARATORS OPTO ISOLATION REFERENCE & ERROR AMP VOUT TRIM (6) * Can be ordered with positive (standard) or negative (optional) polarity.

To comply with safety agency certifications and to avoid injury to personnel or equipment, the user must supply an external fast-blow fuse to the input terminals. See fuse information. Specification Notes (1) All models are tested and specified with external 1||10 µF ceramic/tantalum output capacitors no external input capacitor. All capacitors are low ESR types. These capacitors are necessary to accommodate our test equipment and may not be required to achieve specified performance in your applications. All models are stable and regulate within spec under no-load conditions. All specifications are typical unless noted. General conditions for Specifications are +25 deg.C, Vin and Vout = nominal, full load. Adequate airflow must be supplied for extended testing under power. (2) Input Ripple Current is tested and specified over a 5 Hz to 20 MHz bandwidth. Input filtering is Cin = 33 µF, 100V tantalum, Cbus = 220 µF, 100V electrolytic, Lbus = 12 µH. (3) Note that Maximum Power Derating curves indicate an average current at nominal input voltage. At higher temperatures and/or lower airflow, the DC/DC converter will tolerate brief full current outputs if the total RMS current over time does not exceed the Derating curve. All Derating curves are presented at sea level altitude. Be aware of reduced power dissipation with increasing density altitude. (4) Mean Time Before Failure is calculated using the Telcordia (Belcore) SR-332 Method 1, Case 3, ground fixed conditions, Tpcboard = +25 deg.C, full output load, natural air convection. (5) The On/Off Control is normally controlled by a switch or open collector or open drain transistor. But it may also be driven with external logic or by applying appropriate external voltages which are referenced to Input Common. (6) Short circuit shutdown begins when the output voltage degrades approximately 2% from the selected setting. (7) The outputs are not intended to sink appreciable reverse current. This may damage the outputs. (8) Output noise may be further reduced by adding an external filter. See I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction. (9) All models are fully operational and meet published specifications, including “cold start” at –40 C. (10)Regulation specifications describe the deviation as the line input voltage or output load current is varied from a nominal midpoint value to either extreme. (11)Output accuracy is dependent on user-supplied trim resistors. To achieve high accuracy, use ±1% or better tolerance metal-film resistors mounted close to the converter. (12)Output current limit and short circuit protection is non-latching. When the overcurrent fault is removed, the converter will immediately recover. (13)Do not exceed maximum power specifications when adjusting the output trim. (14)At zero output current, the output may contain low frequency components which exceed the ripple specification. The output may be operated indefinitely with no load. (15)Input Fusing: If reverse polarity is accidentally applied to the input, a body diode will become forward biased and will conduct considerable current. To ensure reverse input protection with full output load, always connect an external input fast-blow fuse in series with the +Vin input. Use approximately twice the full input current rating with nominal input voltage. (16)“Hiccup” overcurrent operation repeatedly attempts to restart the converter with a brief, full-current output. If the overcurrent condition still exists, the restart current will be removed and then tried again. This short current pulse prevents overheating and damaging the converter. Once the fault is removed, the converter immediately recovers normal operation. www.murata-ps.com Technical enquiries email: [email protected], tel: +1 508 339 3000 MDC_UCQ Models.B07 Page 8 of 16 Single Output UCQ Models Low-Profile, Quarter Brick, 8.3-40 Amp Isolated DC/DC Converters Absolute Maximum Ratings Input Voltage Continuous Transient (100msec) 24V Models 0 to +36 Volts +50 Volts 48V Models 0 to +75 Volts +100 Volts On/Off Control Input Reverse Polarity Protection Output Overvoltage Output Current Operating Temperature Storage Temperature Lead Temperature (soldering 10 sec. max.) 0V min. to +13.5V max. See Fuse section TBD Current-limited. Devices can withstand sustained short circuit without damage. –40 to +100°C –55 to +125°C +280°C These are stress ratings. Exposure of devices to any of these conditions may adversely affect long-term reliability. Proper operation under conditions other than those listed in the Performance/Functional Specifications Table is not implied, nor recommended. Input Fusing Certain applications and/or safety agencies may require the installation of fuses at the inputs of power conversion components. Fuses should also be used if the possibility of sustained, non-current-limited, input-voltage polarity reversals exists. For DATEL UCQ series DC/DC converters, we recommend the use of a time delay fuse, installed in the ungrounded input supply line. As a rule of thumb however, we recommend the use of a normal-blow or slow-blow fuse with a typical value about twice the maximum input current, calculated at low line with the converter’s minimum efficiency. All relevant national and international safety standards and regulations must be observed by the installer. For system safety agency approvals, the converters must be installed in compliance with the requirements of the end- use safety standard, i.e. IEC/EN/UL60950-1. Input Reverse-Polarity Protection If the input voltage polarity is accidentally reversed, an internal diode will become forward biased and likely draw excessive current from the power source. If this source is not current limited or the circuit appropriately fused, it could cause permanent damage to the converter. Input Under-Voltage Shutdown and Start-Up Threshold Under normal start-up conditions, devices will not begin to regulate properly until the ramping-up input voltage exceeds the Start-Up Threshold Voltage. Once operating, devices will not turn off until the input voltage drops below the Under-Voltage Shutdown limit. Subsequent re-start will not occur until the input is brought back up to the Start-Up Threshold. This built in hysteresis prevents any unstable on/off situations from occurring at a single input voltage. Start-Up Time The VIN to VOUT Start-Up Time is the time interval between the point at which the ramping input voltage crosses the Start-Up Threshold and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its specified accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary with input source impedance, external input capacitance, and the slew rate and final value of the input voltage as it appears at the converter. The UCQ Series implements a soft start circuit to limit the duty cycle of its PWM controller at power up, thereby limiting the input inrush current. www.murata-ps.com The On/Off Control to VOUT start-up time assumes the converter has its nominal input voltage applied but is turned off via the On/Off Control pin. The specification defines the interval between the point at which the converter is turned on (released) and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its specified accuracy band. Similar to the VIN to VOUT start-up, the On/Off Control to VOUT start-up time is also governed by the internal soft start circuitry and external load capacitance. The difference in start up time from VIN to VOUT and from On/Off Control to VOUT is therefore insignificant. Input Source Impedance The input of UCQ converters must be driven from a low ac-impedance source. The DC/DC’s performance and stability can be compromised by the use of highly inductive source impedances. The input circuit shown in Figure 2 is a practical solution that can be used to minimize the effects of inductance in the input traces. For optimum performance, components should be mounted close to the DC/DC converter. I/O Filtering, Input Ripple Current, and Output Noise All models in the UCQ Series are tested/specified for input reflected ripple current and output noise using the specified external input/output components/circuits and layout as shown in the following two figures. External input capacitors (CIN in Figure 2) serve primarily as energy-storage elements, minimizing line voltage variations caused by transient IR drops in conductors from backplane to the DC/DC. Input caps should be selected for bulk capacitance (at appropriate frequencies), low ESR, and high rms-ripple-current ratings. The switching nature of DC/DC converters requires that dc voltage sources have low ac impedance as highly inductive source impedance can affect system stability. In Figure 2, CBUS and LBUS simulate a typical dc voltage bus. Your specific system configuration may necessitate additional considerations. TO OSCILLOSCOPE CURRENT PROBE +INPUT LBUS + VIN 3 CBUS CIN – 1 –INPUT CIN = 33µF, ESR < 700mΩ @ 100kHz CBUS = 220µF, ESR < 100mΩ @ 100kHz LBUS = 12µH Figure 2. Measuring Input Ripple Current In critical applications, output ripple/noise (also referred to as periodic and random deviations or PARD) may be reduced below specified limits using filtering techniques, the simplest of which is the installation of additional external output capacitors. They function as true filter elements and should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR and appropriate frequency response. All external capacitors should have appropriate voltage ratings and be located as close to the converter as possible. Temperature variations for all relevant parameters should also be taken carefully into consideration. The most effective combination of external I/O capacitors will be a function of line voltage and source impedance, as well as particular load and layout conditions.

Measuring Output Ripple/Noise (PARD) Floating Outputs Since these are isolated DC/DC converters, their outputs are “floating” with respect to their input. Designers will normally use the –Output (pin 4) as the ground/return of the load circuit. You can however, use the +Output (pin 8) as ground/return to effectively reverse the output polarity. Minimum Output Loading Requirements UCQ converters employ a synchronous-rectifier design topology and all models regulate within spec and are stable under no-load to full load conditions. Operation under no-load conditions however might slightly increase the output ripple and noise. Thermal Shutdown The UCQ converters are equipped with thermal-shutdown circuitry. If environmental conditions cause the temperature of the DC/DC converter to rise above the designed operating temperature, a precision temperature sensor will power down the unit. When the internal temperature decreases below the threshold of the temperature sensor, the unit will self start. See Performance/Functional Specifications. Output Over-Voltage Protection The UCQ output voltage is monitored for an over-voltage condition using a comparator. The signal is optically coupled to the primary side and if the output voltage rises to a level which could be damaging to the load, the sensing circuitry will power down the PWM controller causing the output voltage to decrease. Following a time-out period the PWM will restart, causing the output voltage to ramp to its appropriate value. If the fault condition persists, and the output voltage again climbs to excessive levels, the over-voltage circuitry will initiate another shutdown cycle. This on/off cycling is referred to as “hiccup” mode. Current Limiting As soon as the output current increases to approximately 130% of its rated value, the DC/DC converter will go into a current-limiting mode. In this condition, the output voltage will decrease proportionately with increases in output current, thereby maintaining somewhat constant power dissipation. This is www.murata-ps.com commonly referred to as power limiting. Current limit inception is defined as the point at which the full-power output voltage falls below the specified tolerance. See Performance/Functional Specifications. If the load current, being drawn from the converter, is significant enough, the unit will go into a short circuit condition as described below. Short Circuit Condition When a converter is in current-limit mode, the output voltage will drop as the output current demand increases. If the output voltage drops too low, the magnetically coupled voltage used to develop primary side voltages will also drop, thereby shutting down the PWM controller. Following a time-out period, the PWM will restart causing the output voltage to begin ramping to their appropriate value. If the short-circuit condition persists, another shutdown cycle will be initiated. This on/off cycling is referred to as “hiccup” mode. The hiccup cycling reduces the average output current, thereby preventing internal temperatures from rising to excessive levels. The UCQ Series is capable of enduring an indefinite short circuit output condition. Remote Sense Note: The Sense and VOUT lines are internally connected through low-value resistors. Nevertheless, if the sense function is not used for remote regulation the user should connect the +Sense to +VOUT and –Sense to –VOUT at the DC/ DC converter pins. UCQ series converters employ a sense feature to provide point of use regulation, thereby overcoming moderate IR drops in PCB conductors or cabling. The remote sense lines carry very little current and therefore require minimal cross-sectional-area conductors. The sense lines, which are capacitively coupled to their respective output lines, are used by the feedback control-loop to regulate the output. As such, they are not low impedance points and must be treated with care in layouts and cabling. Sense lines on a PCB should be run adjacent to dc signals, preferably ground.

Power derating is based on maximum output current and voltage at the converter’s output pins.

Adjustments to the output voltage can be accomplished via a trim pot (Figure 5) or a single fixed resistor as shown in Figures 6 and 7. A single fixed resistor can increase or decrease the output voltage depending on its connection. Resistors should be located close to the converter and have TCR’s less than 100ppm/°C to minimize sensitivity to changes in temperature.
